Are Allergies Keeping You Sick?

Treatment with our allergy program is highly effective, affordable and convenient. Through sublingual immunotherapy, patients take prescribed serum in the form of oral drops (rather than shots) that are absorbed under the tongue. Gradually increasing amounts of this serum can be taken in the comfort of your own home. This eliminates the need for weekly shots, doctors’ office visits, missed work or school, travel time and expense. Over time, it helps desensitize you to the dusts, molds and pollens that once made you miserable.   

 

You can be tested for both environmental as well as food allergies. Should you only be allergic to 1 or 2 items you can use the avoidance method in order to manage the allergy and keep you feeling well, or you can take the drops to make yourself immune to these items. Regardless of your allergies, most patients will only have to take the medicine for 24-26 months—not for the rest of your life. Another feature of this approach is the fact that it can manage your allergies all across the United States. So, if your job requires you to relocate to another part of the country, you will not have to start all over again. You will be covered. This approach is perfect for patients of all ages including children. The allergy testing is covered by most insurance plans and is done without needles. The testing takes approximatelly 30 minutes and is virtually painless.
